"US President Barack Obama is studying a visit to Israel to deliver a speech to the Israelis as he did when he delivered a speech to the Muslim world during a trip to Cairo, an Israeli newspaper said Tuesday.
Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth paper said that the issue was discussed in Washington by Obama's assistants and leaders of Jewish organizations that support Israel.
The idea was proposed during Obama's meeting with 16 US Jewish figures Monday evening, it added."
